Summary:
Webberville Community Schools is home to a single middle school option—Webberville Middle School—serving grades 6 through 8 with a small enrollment of 107 students in a rural Michigan setting.
Webberville Middle School is on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from the 34th percentile in state rankings two years ago to the 63rd percentile today—a jump of 260 spots that has earned it a 3-star rating. The school’s standout strengths are in science, social studies, and 8th grade PSAT performance. In the most recent year, 8th graders posted 43.9% proficiency in science and 56.4% in social studies, both above state averages, while PSAT English Language Arts hit 70% proficiency versus the state’s 64.8%. Even more striking, 8th grade PSAT math (40%) exceeded the state average (33.2%) by nearly 7 points. Chronic absenteeism is also a bright spot at 19.6%, well below the state’s 27.9%, despite 37.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
The primary concern is math proficiency in the lower grades. Only 20% of 6th graders and 24.1% of 7th graders met state standards on the M-Step, lagging state averages by roughly 10-12 points. This contrasts sharply with the 8th grade PSAT math success, suggesting either a particularly strong 8th grade cohort or that math skills consolidate later. English Language Arts results are mixed and volatile: 6th grade improved by 7.7 points to 36.7%, while 7th grade dropped 7.4 points to 32.1%. Given the small class sizes of about 35 students per grade, these swings can be driven by just a few individuals. Overall, Webberville Middle School demonstrates that effective instruction and strong attendance culture can yield rapid gains, and with targeted math support in 6th and 7th grades, it is well-positioned to continue climbing.
